Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a structural diagram of a network system to which an embodiment of the present invention is applicable, and as shown in fig. 1, the network system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12, where the terminal 11 and the network-side device 12 can communicate with each other.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 11 may also be referred to as a UE (User Equipment), and when the implementation is specific, the terminal 11 may be a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), or a vehicle-mounted Device, and a specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

The network side device 12 may be a base station, a relay, an access point, or the like. The base station may be a base station of 5G and later versions (e.g., a 5G NR NB), or a base station in another communication system (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB)), and it should be noted that the specific type of the network side device 12 is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

For convenience of understanding, the following description is directed to some of the aspects of the embodiments of the present invention:

RRM measurement parameters

The RRM measurement parameters may include the following:

1) SMTC (SS Block Measurement Time Configuration): a first measurement frequency point, a duration, a first measurement period, a first reporting period, an index of a measured SSB (Synchronization Signal/PBCH Block, Synchronization Signal/physical broadcast channel Block), and the like.

Here, the SMTC is configured as the measurement time of the SSB, and therefore, the duration, the first measurement period, the first reporting period, the index of the measured SSB (Synchronization Signal Block), and the like can be regarded as configurations based on the SSB measurement.

2) MO (measurement object): the cell, the beam, the second measurement frequency point, the measurement resource, the second measurement period, the second reporting period and the like;

the measurement resource, the second measurement period, the second reporting period, and the like may be regarded as configurations based on measurement resource measurement. In a specific implementation, the measurement resource may include an SSB and/or a CSI (Channel State Information) -RS. It should be understood that different measurement resources may correspond to different cells and beams.

3) A threshold is measured.

The measurement threshold may be understood as a threshold for triggering measurement of a target object, and the target object may be a second target cell, a target beam, or a target frequency point.

And the second target cell is a neighbor cell of the serving cell of the terminal. The target beam is a second beam other than the first beam, and it should be understood that the first beam may be predetermined, for example, the first beam may be configured in advance by the network side device, or the network side device and the terminal may agree in advance; the first beam may be a beam of the same cell, or may be a beam of a different cell; the second beam may be a beam of the same cell or a beam of a different cell. And the target frequency point is other frequency points except the frequency point of the service cell of the terminal.

In specific implementation, when the RRM measurement value (such as the reference signal measurement value) is higher than the measurement threshold, the terminal does not need to perform measurement on the target object; otherwise, the terminal starts the measurement of the target object. In the embodiment of the present invention, the Reference Signal measurement value may be RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality), and the like.

For example, when the reference signal measurement value of the serving cell of the terminal is higher than the measurement threshold, the terminal may not need to perform measurement on the second target cell and the target frequency point.

The terminal may not make measurements of the second beam when the reference signal measurement of the first beam is above the measurement threshold.

Two, SFN (Single Frequency Network) measurement

The network system may be deployed as shown in fig. 2, and as shown in fig. 2, different cells may transmit physical channels or physical signals on the same time-frequency resource. For example, a plurality of cells may transmit broadcast information, such as SSB, Paging information, and system information, on the same time-frequency resource, that is, in an SFN manner. The UE may transmit and receive broadcast information, including RRM measurements, on the time-frequency resources of the SFN.

The following describes an information reporting method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an information reporting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information reporting method shown in fig. 3 is applied to a terminal, and as shown in fig. 3, the information reporting method may include the following steps:

step 301, reporting an auxiliary message of RRM measurement of radio resource management to a network side device, where the auxiliary message is used for the network side device to determine an RRM measurement parameter of the terminal.

In a specific implementation, in an implementation, the auxiliary information may be specifically used to request the network side device to configure the RRM measurement parameter, so that the network side device may perform more reasonable RRM measurement configuration on the terminal. In this embodiment, after receiving a response message from the network side device to the assistance message, the terminal may perform RRM measurement according to the response message.

In another embodiment, the auxiliary information may be specifically used to inform the network-side device of the RRM measurement parameter determined by the terminal. In this embodiment, the terminal may autonomously determine an RRM measurement parameter for performing RRM measurement according to its own state and service requirement, and may directly perform the RRM measurement according to the determined RRM measurement parameter without waiting for a response message of the network side device to the assistance message.

Wherein the RRM measurement parameters in this step may include at least one of the RRM measurement parameters mentioned in the foregoing.

It can be seen that, in the information reporting method of this embodiment, the terminal may report the RRM measurement auxiliary message to the network side device, so that the network side device determines the RRM measurement parameter of the terminal, thereby improving the flexibility of the RRM measurement performed by the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may actively report the auxiliary information of RRM measurement to the network side device, or may report the auxiliary information of RRM measurement to the network side device only when it is detected that a certain condition is satisfied.

Optionally, before reporting the auxiliary message of RRM measurement of radio resource management to the network side device, the method further includes:

receiving indication information sent by the network side equipment, wherein the indication information is used for indicating whether reporting of the auxiliary message is supported or not;

the reporting of the auxiliary message for RRM measurement to the network side device includes:

and reporting the auxiliary message to network side equipment under the condition that the indication information indicates that the reporting of the auxiliary message is supported.

In a specific implementation, the indication information may be system information, RRC signaling, MAC-CE (Medium Access Control-Control Element), or downlink Control information, which may be determined according to actual requirements, and is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. For example, the network side device may indicate in the system information whether the terminal is supported to report the auxiliary information.

After receiving the indication information indicating that the support terminal reports the auxiliary information, the terminal may report the auxiliary information to the network side device, so that the flexibility of the terminal in performing RRM measurement may be improved.

It should be understood that, if the terminal receives the indication information indicating that the terminal does not support reporting of the auxiliary information, the terminal may give up reporting the auxiliary information to the network side device, so that signaling overhead may be reduced.

In this embodiment of the present invention, in a case that the assistance message may specifically be used to request the network-side device to configure the RRM measurement parameter, optionally, the assistance message may include at least one of the following:

first request information for requesting configuration of RRM measurement parameters;

capability information of the terminal under a single frequency network;

a moving state of the terminal.

It should be noted that the first request message is intended to request the network-side device to configure the RRM measurement parameter, but the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific content included in the first request message.

Optionally, the RRM measurement parameter is included or not included in the first request information.

In a first scenario, the first request message includes RRM measurement parameters.

In this scenario, since the first request information carries the RRM measurement parameter, the first request information may be specifically used to request the network side device to configure the RRM measurement parameter according to the RRM measurement parameter carried in the first request information.

Scenario two, the RRM measurement parameter is not included in the first request information.

In this scenario, the first request message may be used to request the network-side device to reconfigure the RRM measurement parameter, so as to reduce power consumption when the terminal performs the RRM measurement.

It should be understood that, since the RRM measurement parameter is not carried in the first request information, in this scenario, the reconfigured RRM measurement parameter is autonomously determined by the network side device with a purpose of reducing power consumption when the terminal performs the RRM measurement.

In a specific implementation, the first request message may only carry bit information for requesting the network-side device to reconfigure the RRM measurement parameter.

Therefore, compared with the first scenario, the first request information in the second scenario does not carry the RRM measurement parameter, and the resource occupancy rate is small, so that the signaling overhead can be saved; in addition, the network side device autonomously determines the reconfigured RRM measurement parameter with the purpose of reducing power consumption when the terminal performs RRM measurement, so that power consumption when the terminal performs RRM measurement can be reduced.

Compared with the second scenario, the first request information in the first scenario carries the RRM measurement parameter, and the network side device may configure the parameter related to the RRM measurement parameter, so that the network side device may perform more reasonable RRM measurement configuration on the terminal, thereby improving the measurement accuracy, or reducing unnecessary measurement and reducing the measurement power consumption.

Further, the first request information may include at least one of:

the method comprises the steps that first sub-request information used for requesting to configure a synchronous signal block measurement time configuration SMTC is obtained, wherein the SMTC comprises at least one of duration, a first measurement period, a first reporting period, an index of a measured synchronous signal block SSB and a first measurement frequency point;

the second sub-request information is used for requesting to configure a measurement object, wherein the measurement object comprises at least one of a cell, a beam, a measurement resource, a second measurement frequency point, a second measurement period and a second reporting period;

and a third sub-request message for requesting to configure the measurement threshold.

It should be noted that, with respect to the sub-request information in the first request information, the present invention does not limit the specific content of the sub-request information. In implementation, the sub-request information may or may not include parameters of the sub-request information request configuration, such as the SMTC, the measurement object, and the measurement threshold, which may be specifically determined according to actual requirements, and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For the first sub-request message, it should be understood that the SMTC includes parameters such as the duration, the first measurement period, and the second reporting period, which are related to the SSB.

For the second sub-request information, parameters such as a second measurement period and a second reporting period included in the measurement object are related to the measurement resource. As can be seen from the foregoing, the measurement resources may include at least one of SSBs and CSI-RSs.

The specific function of each sub request message will be described below.

Optionally, in a case that the assistance message includes the second sub-request information, the second sub-request information is used to request a first target cell in the first cells as a new measurement cell;

wherein the reference signal measurement value of the first target cell is higher than the reference signal measurement values of other cells in the first cell except the first target cell; the first cell is a cell configured by the network side device and/or a cell searched by the terminal.

In implementation, the terminal may determine the first target cell in the first cell before reporting the assistance message of the RRM measurement to the network side device.

In a specific implementation, the terminal may determine the first target cell in the first cell at least in the following two ways.

In a first method, the terminal may determine a cell, in which a measured value of the reference signal in the first cell is higher than a preset threshold, as the first target cell. The preset threshold may be preconfigured by the network side device.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the terminal may determine the first target cell according to the multiple measurement results. For example, if the terminal counts m measurement results, a cell in which the reference signal measurement values in the n measurement results in the first cell are all higher than a preset threshold may be determined as the first target cell, where m and n are both natural numbers, and n is smaller than m. Alternatively, n may be a natural number greater than m/2 and less than m, but is not limited thereto.

In a second manner, the terminal may determine k cells with the largest measurement value of the reference signal in the first cell as the first target cell, where k may be configured by the network side device, or may be predetermined by the network side device and the terminal, and may be specifically determined according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, the terminal may determine the first target cell according to the multiple measurement results, and for example, the terminal may compare the average values of the reference signal measurement values of each cell in the first cell in the multiple measurement results, and determine the k cells with the largest average value of the reference signal measurement in the first cell as the first target cell, but is not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, when the network side device receives the request of the second sub-request information, the terminal may perform RRM measurement subsequently only on the first target cell, so that power consumption of the terminal may be reduced.

Optionally, in a case that the assistance message includes the second sub-request information, the second sub-request information is used to request a target measurement resource in the first measurement resources as a new measurement resource;

wherein the reference signal measurement value of the target measurement resource is higher than the reference signal measurement values of other measurement resources except the target measurement resource in the first measurement resource; the first measurement resource is a measurement resource configured by the network side device and/or a measurement resource obtained by the terminal search.

In implementation, the terminal may determine a target measurement resource in the first measurement resource before reporting the assistance message for RRM measurement of radio resource management to the network side device.

In a specific implementation, the terminal may determine the target measurement resource in the first measurement resource at least in the following two ways.

In a first manner, the terminal may determine, as the target measurement resource, a measurement resource in which a measurement value of the reference signal in the first measurement resource is higher than a preset threshold. The preset threshold may be preconfigured by the network side device.

In a second manner, the terminal may determine, as the target measurement resource, k measurement resources with the largest reference signal measurement value in the first measurement resources, where k may be configured by the network side device, or may be predetermined by the network side device and the terminal, and may specifically be determined according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, the determination of the target measurement resource and the determination principle of the first target cell are similar, and reference may be specifically made to the description of determining the first target cell, which is not described herein again.

Further, when the number of the target measurement resources is greater than 1, the target measurement resources are measurement resources of the same cell; or, the target measurement resource is a measurement resource of a different cell.

In this embodiment, when the network side device receives the request of the second sub-request information, the terminal may measure only the target measurement resource when performing the RRM measurement subsequently, so that the power consumption of the terminal may be reduced.

Optionally, when the auxiliary message includes the second sub-request information and the measurement object includes a second measurement period and/or a second reporting period, the second sub-request information is used to request to extend the second measurement period and/or the second reporting period.

In practical application, if the terminal detects that the communication quality between the terminal and the network side device does not change much, for example: the terminal is in low mobility, or the terminal moves in a strong signal coverage area of a serving cell, the terminal can request the network side device to configure a longer measurement period and/or a longer reporting period, so that the measurement times and/or the reporting times of the terminal can be reduced, and the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced.

In specific implementation, the second sub-request message may or may not carry a suggestion of a specific measurement period or a reporting period.

Optionally, when the network side device is preconfigured with a first measurement threshold and the assistance message includes the third sub-request information, the third sub-request information is used to request to reduce the first measurement threshold; and/or the third sub-request information is used for requesting to newly add a second measurement threshold, and the second measurement threshold is lower than the first measurement threshold.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the measurement threshold is a threshold for triggering the measurement of the target object. In specific implementation, when the reference signal measurement value is higher than the measurement threshold, the terminal does not need to measure the target object; otherwise, the terminal starts the measurement of the target object. The target object may refer to the foregoing description, and details are not repeated here.

Therefore, if the terminal wishes to reduce the frequency of starting the target object measurement, it may request the network side device to reduce the first measurement threshold. In this way, the probability that the reference signal measurement value of the terminal is higher than the reduced first measurement threshold is increased, thereby making it more difficult for the terminal to start measurement on the target object.

It should be noted that, when the third sub-request information is used to request to lower the first measurement threshold, the third sub-request information may or may not include: the reduced first measurement threshold, or the variation value of the first measurement threshold.

If the terminal wishes to reduce the number of measurements of the target object, it may request the network side device to newly add a second measurement threshold lower than the first measurement threshold. Since the terminal does not need to perform measurement on the target object when the reference signal measurement value is higher than the measurement threshold, and the second measurement threshold is lower than the first measurement threshold, it can be understood that, for a first scenario in which the reference signal measurement value is lower than the first measurement threshold and higher than the second measurement threshold, and a second scenario in which the reference signal measurement value is lower than the second measurement threshold, the measurement number of the target object in the first scenario is smaller than that of the target object in the second scenario.

In this way, in a scenario where the reference signal measurement value is lower than the first measurement threshold and higher than the second measurement threshold, the terminal may start measurement on the target object, but the measurement number of the target object is smaller than the measurement number of the target object in the second scenario, so that the flexibility of the number of the measured target objects may be improved, and the measurement power consumption may be reduced.

It should be noted that, when the third sub-request information is used to request to add a second measurement threshold, the third sub-request information may or may not include: and adding a second measurement threshold.

In addition, the number of the newly added second measurement thresholds may be determined according to actual requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, for different target objects, the measurement thresholds may correspond to different measurement thresholds, such as an S-measure threshold for triggering measurement of a second target cell, a B-measure threshold for triggering measurement of a target beam, and the like.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the terminal may perform RRM measurement on the time-frequency resources of the SFN. As is known, when a terminal performs RRM measurement on time-frequency resources of an SFN, the measurement power consumption may be reduced compared to performing RRM measurement on measurement resources other than the SFN. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary message may include capability information of the terminal in an SFN, which is used to indicate whether the terminal has an information receiving capability in a single frequency network, so that the network-side device determines whether to configure the SSB, CSI-RS, or other RS resources transmitted in the SFN form to the UE, so as to perform RRM measurement by the UE, and determines whether to transmit the paging information, the broadcast signal, and the broadcast information in the SFN form.

Optionally, in a case that the auxiliary message includes the capability information and the capability message indicates that the terminal has an information receiving capability in the single frequency network, the auxiliary message further includes: and second request information, where the second request information is used to request the network side device to transmit a broadcast signal, broadcast information, and paging information in the single frequency network.

Specifically, when the terminal has the information receiving capability in the single frequency network, the terminal may request the network side device to configure the measurement configuration in the SFN and send the paging information. In this way, the terminal can receive paging information, SSB and other downlink broadcast signals based on the configuration of the SFN resource of the network side device, thereby reducing measurement power consumption.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the RRM measurement is mainly used for measuring the signal quality between the terminal and the network-side device, so that it is not necessary for the terminal in a stationary or low mobility state to have too frequent RRM measurement, and therefore, the auxiliary message may include the mobility state of the terminal, so that the network-side device configures an RRM measurement parameter for the terminal to perform the RRM measurement according to the mobile terminal of the terminal, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may determine its own mobile terminal in multiple ways, and optionally, the moving state is determined according to at least one of the following: direction of arrival (DOA) measurement results, measured RS timing offsets, doppler measurement results, and measurement information of the satellite communication system, but are not limited thereto.

It should be noted that, various optional implementations described in the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in combination with each other or implemented separately, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

The information reporting method of the embodiment of the invention can comprise the following steps:

1. the UE sends the auxiliary information related to the RRM measurement to the network side equipment, wherein the auxiliary information comprises at least one of the following items:

a) the requested SMTC configuration, the duration of the SMTC, the index of the measured SSB.

b) And requesting MO information configured by the network side equipment and MO configuration configured by the network side equipment.

Cell number, beam number, measurement RS resource number and MO configuration number.

The MO information may be understood as recommendation information, and may not carry RRM measurement parameters; the MO configuration may carry RRM measurement parameters.

c) Requesting the configured measurement period and the reporting period.

d) Requesting the threshold number and threshold value of the configured cell level/beam level S-measure; and the number of measured adjacent regions and adjacent frequencies.

e) And the UE reports whether the network side equipment has the receiving capability in the SFN or not.

When the UE has the capability of receiving in the SFN network, the UE may request the network side device to configure the measurement configuration in the SFN network and transmit the paging information.

2. And the network side equipment indicates whether the UE is supported to report the auxiliary information in system information, RRC signaling, MAC-CE or a downlink control channel.

For ease of understanding, examples are illustrated below:

example one

After long-term measurement, the UE finds the cells 0, 1, and 2 with the best RSRP, RSRQ, and other indexes for a long time. However, the network side device is configured with measurements for cells 0-6.

The UE sends feedback information to the network side equipment, and the feedback network side equipment takes the cell0, the cell1 and the cell2 as cells for continuous measurement and does not measure the cell3-6 any more.

Example two

After long-term measurement, the UE finds that the SSBs 0 and 2 of the current serving cell are the best measurement resources for RSRP, RSRQ, and the like for a long time. However, the network side device is configured with measurements of SSB 0-4.

The UE sends feedback information to the network side equipment, and feeds back the resources of the network side equipment SSB0 and SSB2 as the resources for continuing measurement, and does not perform measurement of SSB1, SSB3 and SSB4 any more.

EXAMPLE III

After long-term measurement, the UE finds the measurement resources with the best indexes such as RSRP, RSRQ and the like for a long time in the SSB0 of the cell0 and the SSB1 of the cell 1. However, the network side device is configured with measurements of SSBs 0-SSBs 4 of cells 0-4.

The UE sends feedback information to the network side equipment, feeds back the resources of the SSB0 of the cell0 and the SSB1 of the cell1 of the network side equipment as the resources for continuous measurement, and does not measure other cells and SSBs any more.

Example four

The UE sends feedback information to the network side device, and may send the request information or the requested S-measure threshold in hope of reducing the S-measure threshold, that is, it is more difficult to start the neighbor measurement.

The UE sends feedback information to the network side equipment, hopes to reduce the number of the neighbor cell measurement, and can require to configure another S-measure2 threshold to the network side equipment, if the S-measure threshold is not satisfied but the S-measure2 threshold is satisfied, the X neighbor cell is measured, and if the S-measure2 threshold is not satisfied, all the configured or the cells discovered by the UE are measured. It should be understood that the number of X neighbor cells is less than the number of cells configured or discovered by the UE.

In this embodiment, the S-measure threshold is an RSRP or RSRQ threshold of cell-level measurement; the target object represents a target cell, i.e. a neighbour of a serving cell of the terminal.

EXAMPLE five

Assuming that the measurement threshold is a threshold for controlling the number of RS-level measurements, a higher threshold means that fewer RS measurements are needed, and in general, the RS may have different corresponding beams, i.e. fewer beams are measured. For example, when the optimum measurement values of RSRP, RSRQ, etc. of the N beams are higher than the corresponding thresholds, no measurement is performed on other beams; otherwise, the measurement of other beams is started. This threshold is described in this embodiment as the B-measure threshold. In this embodiment, the B-measure threshold is an RS-level RSRP or RSRQ threshold; the target object is a target beam. It should be noted that the above-mentioned N beams can be understood as the first beam in the foregoing.

The UE sends feedback information to the network side device, and hopes to reduce the threshold for triggering target beam measurement in the B-measure, that is, it is more difficult to start the measurement of the target beam, and may send the request information or the requested B-measure threshold.

The UE sends feedback information to the network side equipment, the number of adjacent beam measurement which is expected to be reduced can be required to configure another B-measure2 threshold to the network side equipment, if the B-measure is not satisfied but the B-measure2 is satisfied, X beams are measured, and X is greater than N; if the S-measure2 threshold is not met, beams of all configured or UE-discovered cells are measured. It should be understood that X is less than the number of beams of the cell configured or discovered by the UE.

In this embodiment, there is no limitation on whether the beams, X and N, come from the same cell. That is, the X beams may be beams of the same cell or beams of different cells; the N beams may be beams of the same cell or beams of different cells.

EXAMPLE six

UE sends a request for improving a measurement period and reporting the period to network side equipment; or send a suggestion of a specific measurement period or reporting period to the network side device.

EXAMPLE seven

And feeding back whether the UE is in a low mobility state to the network side equipment.

Specifically, the UE may determine whether the UE is in the low mobility state by at least one of:

the ue determines whether it is in a low mobility state according to the DOA measurement.

And the UE judges whether the mobile terminal is in the low mobility state or not according to the measured timing deviation of the RS.

And iv, judging whether the UE is in a low mobility state or not according to the Doppler measurement.

And v, the UE determines whether the mobile terminal is in a low mobility state according to the measurement information of the satellite communication systems such as the GPS and the Beidou.

Example eight
